of course he is accepted. Only the most die hard of Sooner fans would call him out on playing for UT. But the number of fans who like KD the pro baller will far outweigh the Sooner faithful who show even for the OU chess matches

jimmyjackfunk:mitchcumstein1: Is Kevin Durant accepted in Norman? He's a Longhorn after all.

/not for sure if there is chess matches in the big 12

Really? I figured it was a fairly bitter rivalry. If a Missouri guy led the Chiefs to the Super Bowl he'd still get booed in Lawrence.

varmitydog:Alabama's offensive line looks like they have some fairly big guys on it, so I looked up their heights and weights. They areT 6'6" 335G 6'3" 320C 6'3" 305G 6'5" 300T 6'6" 310TE 6'6" 270

Mooooooooooo! When these boys trot out onto the field it must measure on the Richter scale.

That is very similar to the reason Alabama has an elephant as their mascot.

Copy/pasta from Yahoo Answers:

On October 8, 1930, sports writer Everett Strupper of the Atlanta Journal wrote a story of the Alabama-Mississippi game he had witnessed in Tuscaloosa four days earlier. Strupper wrote, "That Alabama team of 1930 is a typical Wade machine, powerful, big, tough, fast, aggressive, well-schooled in fundamentals, and the best blocking team for this early in the season that I have ever seen. When those big brutes hit you I mean you go down and stay down, often for an additional two minutes.

"Coach Wade started his second team that was plenty big and they went right to their knitting scoring a touchdown in the first quarter against one of the best fighting small lines that I have seen. For Ole Miss was truly battling the big boys for every inch of ground.

"At the end of the quarter, the earth started to tremble, there was a distant rumble that continued to grow. Some excited fan in the stands bellowed, 'Hold your horses, the elephants are coming,' and out stamped this Alabama varsity.

"It was the first time that I had seen it and the size of the entire eleven nearly knocked me cold, men that I had seen play last year looking like they had nearly doubled in size."

Strupper and other writers continued to refer to the Alabama linemen as "Red Elephants," the color referring to the crimson jerseys.
